Tickets for the movie were an equally affordable €10. What's more, the prices at the bar were very reasonable, two (large) glasses of wine, a Corona and some really, REALLY good popcorn came to €12.50.

Smooth white walls adorned with cool art prints greet you in the reception area, along with owner and founder, Paul Scrivener, with his list of names and a big, friendly smile.
